Can Good be Good Without Bad!??

When I was spending one of those days simply brushing my teeth with a chaotic flurry of thoughts rushing through my head; it just occurred to me...Can there be a good without a bad!?

I mean think about it...if someone was not rude, mean, unfair, hurtful, inconsiderate, abusive and so on with us - directly or indirectly - would we have truly valued and appreciated the same or another person being polite, considerate, completely fair, comforting or even healing!

Would we have valued this "goodness"? Would we have associated any kind of effort or applaud involved in being good?

So naturally I went on to think that if there was no bad or evil in this world there would be no place for the 'notion' of good! Don't you think?? I do not mean to promote bad but I simply want to suggest an alteration in the way we look at these things.

I could simply say that if there was no pain there would be no value added in our life when happiness came along. Hell...the word happiness would not even exist because everything would just be life...simply being lived! I could even go on to say life would be one boring never-ending movie. Our emotions would starve for content!

So you may ask me now... "Enough of the sermons! What is the bottomline you  are getting at?"

Well...the answer - as the inner-voice of my heart suggests - is to embrace the happenings as a part of life making it less-painful and more bearable if only we did not hate the bad so much, give it a chance to make a point..."How would you like good and love happiness if it wasn't for me?"
